twins come to town for the series of the year. >> series of the year. not going real well at the moment. >> to say the least. >> not at all. the minnesota twins can't clinch the al central during their three-game series that started tonight. from a practical standpoint, nothing short of a sweep will do for the sox if they hope to

catch the twins in the season's final 19 games. you don't have to tell jim tome what's at stake against his former team. bases loaded, nobody out for pierzynski. the twins will during a double play. a runner does score. but the sox have a 3-2 lead but not for long. here come the twins back with two rounds in the 7th. minnesota goes back in front 4- 3. bottom of the 7th, base loaded. the big guns coming up. but konerko strikes out. and will end the threat. twins broke it open in the 8th. they lead it now 9-3. the cubs and the fans having some late season fun at the expense of the cardinals. randy wells trying to finish strong.

a single off wainwright. it's xavier nady. the cubs win it 7-23 and go for the sweep of the cardinals tomorrow night. it's early but so far the bears have been able to steer clear of season-ending injuries until now. hillenmeyer done for the year. and the nfl's new emphasis on the proper treatment for con suggestion cushion -- concussions. he missed the next one. and the bears made the announcemented, general manager calling player health and safety a priority. he admitted to mixed emotion. i respect the decision to place me on ir.

while this is probably in my best interest, it's hard to accept the fact my season a over. the bears aren't the only season to get one. packers player done for the year. he's been a top ten rusher in three years. also done for the year. defensive tackle chris jenkins. it seemed inevitable, to add to the rush. their new head coach replacing bob who left to go to a philadelphia. here we go reggie bush deciding to give up the heisman try few under a lot of pressure. bush involved in a scandal at usc. and under increasing pressure as they were in hot water overthe ncaa. the first heisman winner to forfeit the award in its history. now we jump ahead to the chicago rush lost their only coach in history.

they turn to bob mcmillen. mcmillen helped lead the rush to a championship late in his career. he'll try to do it again as coach. >> what the rush means to me is success. they've not missed a playoff game. i've been in this league for 15 years and have never missed playoffs. >> he embodies everything the city is about. i think this team will be molded into his image and people all right butt their chin straps on when they play the chicago rush. and the 2011 major league baseball season will start on thursday march 31. the cubs and sox will both open the next day. the sox at cleveland, the cubs hosting pittsburgh. the cubs will also host the yankees next season at wrigley and make their first trip to fenway park since the 1918 world series. >> good luck for them, huh? >> maybe that'll snap snow
